This can be attributed to my father. When I was little, he used to come home from the store with\u00a0joystick retro video game consoles\u00a0that had to be plugged into the front of the VCR for us to play.\u00a0We also used to\u00a0visit a\u00a0restaurant in town once\u00a0a week\u00a0that had old pinball machines and other arcade games in the basement that we would play for hours on end. My favorite to play was Pac-Man. (Things got a little dicey when you added Ms. Pac-Man into the mix, as no one really wanted to be stuck playing as her&#8230;)<\/p>\n<p>In 2010, as a celebration of 30 years of Pac-Man, Namco released <a href=\"http:\/\/rivershare.polarislibrary.com\/search\/title.aspx?ctx=14.1033.0.0.3&amp;cn=339786\" target=\"_blank\"><em><strong>Pac-Man Party<\/strong><\/em><\/a>\u00a0and I was one of the many who purchased the game for the Wii. So did the Davenport Public Library! If you have grown nostalgic for the &#8220;Wakka Wakka Wakka&#8221; sound, check out Pac-Man Party. The whole game is set up\u00a0as Pac-Man&#8217;s birthday party.\u00a0In addition to offering the classic 1980s arcade\u00a0games for Pac-Man, Dig-Dug, and Galaga, Pac-Man Party also strives to appeal to those not familiar with\u00a0the classic Pac-Man game\u00a0by including\u00a0mini-games and challenges for up to four players. You won&#8217;t get bored playing Pac-Man Party as there are 45 mini-games available and three different modes accessible to play. So gather up your closest friends and family members and challenge them to see who can survive the longest as Pac-Man.
